Italian Heirloom Tomato

50 Seeds

$ 3.69

Its excellent flavor and meatiness make Italian Heirloom one of the best dual-purpose tomatoes around. When I first grew this variety in the extreme drought of 2012, I thought I would never grow it again. Early on, it always seemed to look thirsty with its leaves often rolled and droopy. However later in the season, Italian Heirloom produced nice yields of large near-perfect tomatoes while other varieties suffered from extreme blossom end rot (a calcium deficiency that is worsened by drought). It turned out that my initial impressions were wrong, Italian heirloom had been coping with the drought stress while the others were chugging along as if everything were fine. I learned an important lesson in plant physiology that summer and thanks to Italian Heirloom we had plenty of canned tomatoes that winter. 85 days to harvest. Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.

Amazing Tomatoes

I have grown quite a few tomatoes in my life but these Italian heirlooms were probably the best I have ever grown. The plants got to be 6' tall and the fruit was about 20-25 lbs. per plant. 100% germination I ended up thinning and giving away plants. The tomatoes were as big as softballs and were meaty and almost seedless. We made some of the best tomato sauce we have ever made mixing these with Opalkas and Texas Tinys. We grew organically and we had very little problems with any pests. I can't say the same for the Olpalka tomatoes however.

So far so good

We planted 25 little pots inside and all but 3 germinated. This is our first time starting our garden this way.

So Far, Super Happy with my order

This review is not so much about the tomato, although I have no doubts in that they will sprout. I just got my seeds and have started to plant so I cant say on those. I may do a follow up to rave about them. This review is more about the company themselves. I was so thrilled to get my seeds so quickly, I ordered, they shipped and in 3 days time I had them. That was FAST! I love that. Also, Trivial maybe, but I loved the seed packets that the seeds came in. It was a nice black, foil type of packet with a zipper seal. Very nice to keep the seeds fresh. I will definitely be ordering from here again in the future.

Only 1 seed germinated

I've been starting my own seeds, including tomatoes, for years. This year all of my tomatoes germinated successfully with the exception of this envelope of seeds. Only one (1) seed germinated out of the entire package. I am VERY disappointed.

Hi Kelley, I'm so sorry you had disappointing results with our seed. Our 2021 lot of Italian Heirloom recently tested at 86% germ, but it is always possible that something happened in transit. We will be in touch about a refund or replacement.

Amazing Tomatoes!

These are by far the best tomatoes we have ever grown! They are kind of sweet tasting and quite fleshy! Very little juice and seeds to deal with hence we are using them to make homemade ketchup out of them. I personally think these tomatoes are absolutely perfect for sandwiches!

We have seven plants and usually one picking will fill a 5-gal bucket clear to the top and then some!

We started the plants inside under UV light and later on moved them out to our garden where they really started growing like weeds! In my opinion, these tomatoes are easy to start and once out in the garden they will take care of themselves quite well even during really dry weather conditions.

If you haven't yet tried these tomatoes then I highly recommend them, just make sure you don't plant to many because the tomatoes are about the size of a softball and boy do these plants yield!
